Just in case you ever wondered what would happen if a pornstar crossed paths with more than a dozen college baseball players…wonder no more.

Thursday, the UNLV baseball team ran into Richelle Ryan and, well, in what is possibly the most Las Vegas thing the Rebels could do…they posed for a picture with pornstar.

Oh, and a word to the wise…don’t read the comments or check out the rest of Ryan’s Twitter account. It is definitely not safe for work.

Braden Halladay was just nine when his dad Roy threw a perfect game against the then-Florida Marlins in 2010.

Saturday, the 17-year-old high school junior was perfect against his late-father’s old team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

The younger Halladay, a member of the Canadian Junior National Team, entered the game in the eighth to a standing ovation and, to the delight of everyone…shut them down.

Just watched Braden Halladay get the #BlueJays in order. And I thought there was no crying in baseball.

Braden Halladay was, by far, not the only player on the field with big league connections. Suiting up for the Blue Jays…the sons of former Major Leaguers Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Vladimir Guerrero, Dante Bichette and Dwight Smith. And if that isn’t enough, Mark Grudzielanek’s nephew served as Toronto’s designated hitter.

The voice of the Clearwater Threshers talks to the boys about being one of baseball’s only female play-by-play announcers, reveals what her ultimate goal is, cheers the Philadelphia Phillies off season moves and, lastly, answers the age-old question…what is a thresher?

Rube Waddell was one of the most dominating pitchers in the game — when you could find him.

When he was ready to pitch, he had a blazing fastball and vicious curveball that left batters helpless. He led the American League in strikeouts six straight years and won 193 games in a 13-year career.

His on-field accomplishments have been overshadowed by everything he did off the field. He drank, he was married three times, he skipped starts to go fishing or hunting, he acted, he was a volunteer firefighter, he starred in a circus freak show and he was occasionally arrested. Maybe all of that is true, and maybe none of it is.

If every single article written about Waddell in his prime is accurate, then it’s hard to figure out when he had time to play baseball.

George Edward Waddell pitched for the Louisville Colonels (1897, 1899), Pittsburgh Pirates (1900-1), Chicago Orphans (1901), Philadelphia Athletics (1902-7) and St. Louis Browns (1908-10). Waddell showed plenty of potential with the Colonels, Pirates and Orphans, but he blossomed into a superstar in Philadelphia with the A’s and manager Connie Mack. He won 20-plus games in his first four seasons with the team, had an ERA of under 1.70 twice and set a (post-1900) record for most strikeouts in a season with 349 in 1904, which lasted until Sandy Koufax fanned 382 in 1965.

By then, Waddell had also earned his reputation as one of the game’s great eccentrics. He would apparently sign any contract handed to him if he could get cash in hand and had jumped several contracts. His gameday disappearances were already well documented. He was known for doing back somersaults off the mound and playing to the fans at every opportunity. In fact, The Buffalo Enquirer announced his arrival to the Athletics with the lovely headline of “Rube Waddell, Human Freak, Quits Quakers.”

By 1905, Waddell had become so erratic that A’s manager Connie Mack assigned him a caretaker, known as Mr. Newhouse. Newhouse’s job was to keep Waddell out of trouble, pay for his expenses and, as the 1905 News-Journal reports, “watch over him as a mother would over an erring child.” Waddell couldn’t even go fishing on his own without Newhouse following behind in a patrol boat.

“Rube has no money, no solitude and a surfeit of Newhouse. He is keeping straight and pitching great ball,” the report concluded. Sure enough, Waddell had possibly his best year ever in 1905. He went 27-10 and won the pitcher’s Triple Crown with a league-leading 1.48 ERA and 287 strikeouts. Had there been a Cy Young Award (there wasn’t, chiefly because Young was still pitching at the time), Waddell probably would have won it – though he may have had to share it with Newhouse.

It didn’t last. Though the Athletics won the AL pennant in 1905, Waddell didn’t pitch in the World Series against the New York Giants because of what Mack later referred to as the “straw hat incident.” Waddell and another teammate were jostling for possession of said hat, when Waddell fell and injured his shoulder. The drinking and unreliability steadily worsened, and Mack ended up selling Waddell to the St. Louis Browns in 1908. He lasted with the Browns until 1910, when he was traded mid-season to a minor-league team in Newark.

Waddell’s 2.16 career is 11th best all time, and his 2,316 strikeouts puts him in the Top 50. His Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP), which rates a pitcher’s ability to avoid home runs, walks and hit batsmen while causing strikeouts, is 2.033, second only to Big Ed Walsh.

He found work in Minnesota after Major League Baseball was done with him, and he won 20 games for the Minneapolis Millers in 1911. That winter, while living in Hickman, Kentucky, he helped fill sandbags during a flood, but staying in the icy waters for an extended time wrecked his health. He eventually recovered enough to pitch again, but his time was running short.

The then-future Hall of Famer’s last game took place on June 26, 1913 in Duluth. The man who was the toast of baseball finished his career pitching for a team from Virginia, Minn. in the Northern League. He struck out 12 men in a 3-1 loss. In the ninth inning, facing what would be his last batter, he threw strike one and turned his back to the catcher just as the catcher threw the ball back to him. Without peeking, he caught the ball behind his back and proceeded to fire strikes two and three in short order.

As Waddell’s health declined, he moved to Texas for his health. He died in San Antonio on April 1, 1914, from tuberculosis at the age of 37. He’s buried in Mission Burial Park South. Waddell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Old Timers Committee in 1946.

This summer marks 30 years since the release of “Bull Durham” and you better believe you’re going to be hearing a lot about the film’s anniversary.

One of the first out of the gate…the Asheville Tourists.

On Sat., June 16, 2018- 30 years from the release of Bull Durham- Tourists players will don these special on-field jerseys for one night only!

“I played full-time baseball until my final year of high school. I pitched and played third base,” Hogan said while visiting the Philadelphia Phillies. “I broke my arm playing third base. It was the best thing that ever happened to me because I segued into wrestling. I was a huge wrestling fan…but baseball was the first love.”

Hogan, who calls Clearwater, Florida, home, hit Phillies camp as a guest of bullpen coach Jim Gott. While there, he chatted up coaches and players.

Major League Baseball’s last 30-game winner talks to the boys about the “Year of the Pitcher”, his love/hate relationship with former skipper Ted Williams (and how he thinks he would’ve fared against “The Splendid Splinter”), that time he was thrown off his Little League team and, lastly, shares his thoughts on working the talk show circuit as late night television’s preeminent organ player.

Frank Bettger was successful in several careers, but baseball was not one of them. As Frank Betcher, he was a light-hitting infielder who played with the 1910 St. Louis Cardinals.

Using his birth name, he went on to write best-selling business books and was considered one of the best salesmen in the country by no less an authority than Dale Carnegie.

Betcher (he said his first baseball paycheck misspelled his name, so he kept it) started playing as a 19-year old in 1907. He was cut by the Johnstown Johnnies, his first team, because he was lazy. At least, that’s what he claimed later on in life.

The reality was that his .186 batting average probably didn’t do him any favors, but his version makes for a better story. Lesson learned, he said he learned to play with greater enthusiasm.

Betcher bounced around a few leagues and hit a solid .276 for Greenville in 1909 (his best career numbers by a long shot). He then spent 1910 as a backup infielder for the Cardinals. He didn’t hit particularly well (.202 batting average, 18 hits, six RBI and two doubles as his only extra base hits), but he played all the infield positions except first base, as well as a couple games in the outfield.

According to his SABR bio, he refused to report to the Cards for Spring Training in 1911 and ended up sitting out that entire season. He played a couple more years in the minors, but he never hit well enough to come close to the MLB again.

Retired from baseball, newly wed and going under his birth name again, Bettger became an insurance salesman. He struggled at first and considered quitting after less than a year on the job. He remembered his lessons of playing with enthusiasm from his baseball days and, after rededicating himself to the job, became one of Fidelity Mutual’s best and highest-paid salesmen. He did so well for himself that he was able to retire at the age of 51 and took to the lecture circuit with Carnegie.

Bettger wrote the best-seller How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling in 1949, and it’s still in print today. It contains many of the life lessons he learned in his careers, including the power of enthusiasm, how to conquer fear and several golden rules for closing a sale. He wrote several other books, including How I Multiplied My Income and Happiness in Selling, and lectured through the 1960s before retiring again. He died on November 27, 1981 at the age of 93. He is buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

His son, Lyle Bettger, became an actor and made a name for himself on Broadway, in the movies and on television. He had guest appearances on Hawaii Five-O, Rawhide and Gunsmoke and was in numerous Hollywood westerns.

From Pete Rose hitting the ring in three separate WrestleManias to Wade Boggs inducting his friend Curt Hennig into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007, baseball and professional wrestling has had a lengthy relationship.

This is another one of those tales.

When Adam Scherr was trying to figure out what his WWE alter ego would be, he was without a name for a while before one stuck.

“I had pitched a bunch of ideas for names with the company and they turned them all down. It kind of got down to a time crunch, we need to figure out something out now,” the WWE Superstar said. “We were sitting around the [WWE] Performance Center and Sportscenter was on and they were talking about Ryan Braun and I was like ‘Braun, that sounds pretty good.’ I mean look at me, I’m 6’8 and 385 pounds, I mean Braun is pretty fitting.”

Hold on…Braun Strowman got his name from the 2011 National League MVP?

Yup.

Turns out, the bearded behemoth, who has family just north of Milwaukee, is a huge baseball fan and actually had a chance to meet his Brewers namesake.

“I wanted to go to a game last year,” Strowman said. “I went with a cousin who’s boss would take him about once a month or so to watch a Brewers game. I just happened to be in town and he asked me if I wanted to come. I jumped along and we were hanging there, someone noticed that I was there, and all of a sudden I’m getting phone calls. The Brewers PR guy grabs me and takes me and my cousin to the press box and takes us down to meet the players.”

The former pitcher talks to the boys about her time in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and how she got started on the diamond, her quest to preserve the AAGPBL in Rockford, Illinois, why she had to hide her sexuality and shares who her favorite current Major Leaguer is.

Mickey Kreitner never gained fame as a Major League ballplayer. However, as a restauranteur in his hometown of Nashville, be became a beloved character in a city filled with characters.

Kreitner broke into pro baseball when he was 18, following an honorable discharge from the Army. In two seasons as a teenage minor leaguer, he didn’t do much to impress any big league team. He hit .232 with the Americus (Ga.) Pioneers in 1941 and .173 with the Nashville Volunteers the following season.

How did he end up getting signed by the Cubs? Curiosity.

According to the Long Beach Independent, Kreitner went from Nashville to Chicago one day to watch the Cubs play the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field. The Cubs General Manager, Jim Gallagher, asked Kreitner why he was there, and the youngster said he wanted to watch how big leaguers play the game.

Gallagher was so impressed by the response that he called the Vols, acquired the catcher and had Kreitner sign a contract before the end of the game. Kreitner batted .248 for the Vols that season, hit .500 in the playoffs and was a Southern League All-Star. The Cubs brought Kreitner to the Majors in September, and he got three hits in eight at bats with two RBI.

Kreitner played in 39 games for the Cubs in 1944 and hit just .153, but his fielding was quite excellent. He had a .992 fielding percentage and threw out 46% of base runners. He spent 1945 with the Los Angeles Angels, then a minor-league team, and hit a strong .277 in what ended up as his final season. Kreitner’s obit states that he was struck on the head by a baseball bat, ending his professional baseball career at the age of 22. His totals were a .172 average with two doubles and three RBI.

Following his baseball career, Kreitner returned to Nashville and got into the restaurant business. According to Bill Lee, the Baseball Undertaker, he owned and operated 39 restaurants in 43 years. In 1964, he was involved in a trial of Davidson County Sheriff Leslie Jett and denied under oath that he gave Jett protection money in exchange for leaving his mixing bar alone. Kreitner stated that his bar had been raided by Jett’s men three times and had almost driven him out of business.

Despite that brush with the law, Kreitner’s business prospered. Sports legends routinely stopped by his restaurants. His 55th birthday party included guests like Mickey Mantle and Ernie Banks. On one occasion, Don Zimmer and Kreitner drank more than a few before Zim had to fly to Little Rock. Zimmer was worried about missing his flight, but Kreitner assured his friend that he’d make it. Sure enough, Kreitner got Zimmer to the airport and put him on a plane – to Louisville.

Kreitner ran the Captain’s Table on Printer’s Alley in the era before Nashville became sanitized for tourists’ protection. The Nashville Scene wrote a tributeto the street’s gritty roots, noting that you could find an upscale restaurant like the Captain’s Table right next to country music clubs and burlesque shows. Kreitner was a part of the larger-than-life group of businessmen who found the right formula for success in Music City: “a combination of fine dining, live music and artful appreciation of female flesh.”

Mickey Kreitner died on March 6, 2003 following heart surgery. He was 80 years old. He is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville.

Every year, dozens...]]>MLB history is filled with trades that wound up being hugely lopsided. Every year, dozens of prospects are moved, and inevitably, some of them go onto greatness. Players like Max Scherzer, Randy Johnson, Jeff Bagwell, and John Smoltz were all traded before their original teams knew just what they had.

Stanton was just one of the many key players Miami moved in the offseason. They also traded CF Christian Yelich to Milwaukee, LF Marcell Ozuna to St. Louis, and CF Dee Gordon to Seattle. Now, if you go to any of the sportsbooks you will see that the Marlins have the lowest over/under win total in all of baseball (64.5) by a wide margin. Check to see which pages list the starting pitchers before you bet on win totals, some don’t. This list of betting sites from My Top Sportsbooks should have some info for that, or who’s got the best selection for MLB wagers.

Rare though it is to see a player of Stanton’s caliber traded, Miami isn’t the first team to part ways with a superstar. Let’s look at five other current/future Hall of Famers who have been sent packing in their primes.

Alex Rodriguez, Texas Rangers

The Rangers aren’t what you’d call a “small-market” team, but A-Rod’s price tag in 2003 was enough to make Warren Buffet gasp. After the ’03 season, Texas dealt Rodriguez (the reigning NL MVP) and his $252 million contract to the Yankees for Alfonso Soriano. A-Rod would lead Yankees to the 2009 World Series and win two more MVP awards in the Bronx. Money well spent?

Mark McGwire, Oakland Athletics

The Athletics are what you’d call a “small-market” team, and after a string of great seasons in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, they fell on hard times. During the 1997 season, with Big Mac’s contract set to expire, the A’s sent their last remaining Bash Brother to St. Louis for a bunch of nobodies: T.J. Matthews, Eric Ludwick, and Blake Stein. Yes, they would have lost him for nothing in the offseason, but that’s still a weak return for a future 70-homer guy.

Ken Griffey Jr., Seattle Mariners

In 1999, two years after he won AL MVP, Ken Griffey Jr. was eager to move closer to his hometown of Cincinnati, and the Seattle Mariners obliged. They traded “The Kid” to the Reds for Mike Cameron, Brett Tomko, and a couple prospects who never amounted to much.

It turned out Seattle traded their star at just the right time. After going to 11 straight All-Star games with Seattle, Griffey would go to just three more in nine seasons in Cincinnati and never finished higher than 24th in MVP voting again.

Miguel Cabrera (and Dontrelle Willis), Florida Marlins

The Stanton deal isn’t the first time the Marlins have traded the face of their franchise. Back in 2007 when they were still the Florida Marlins, penny-pinching owner Jeffrey Loria got rid of basically every good player on his roster, including sending Miguel Cabrera and former NL Rookie of the Year Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for a bunch of prospects who never really amounted to anything. Cabrera had already been to four All-Star games and finished top-five in MVP voting twice. He would go onto to win the award twice with the Tigers (though Willis flamed out entirely).

Mike Piazza, Los Angeles Dodgers and Florida Marlins

Mike Piazza may go down as the best offensive catcher in baseball history, and he was beloved in Los Angeles. But that didn’t stop the Dodgers from shipping him to Florida in 1998. Another impending free-agent, Piazza actually fetched quite the haul from the Marlins, who are always eager to unload useful players it seems. Gary Sheffield, an aging Bobby Bonilla, and a handful of other players went back to the City of Angels.

Piazza’s time in Florida only lasted five games, as the Marlins turned around and sent him to the Mets for, as usual, a group of prospects who didn’t pan out.

I guess that’s just the “Marlins Way.”

After what he said about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre back in 2015, it’s a pretty safe bet no one wanted to hear what Chipper Jones had to say following the Valentine’s Day shooting in Parkland, Florida.

But, since he was asked, the Atlanta Braves great gave his thoughts on the issue and, well, dude made some sense.

Really.

“I believe in our Constitutional right to bear arms and protect ourselves,” Jones said. “But I do not believe there is any need for civilians to own assault rifles. I just don’t.”

Say what?

“I would like to see something (new legislation) happen,” the Hall of Famer added. “I liken it to drugs – you’re not going to get rid of all the guns. But AR-15s and AK-47s and all this kind of stuff – they belong in the hands of soldiers. Those belong in the hands of people who know how to operate them, and whose lives depend on them operating them. Not with civilians. I have no problem with hunting rifles and shotguns and pistols and what-not. But I’m totally against civilians having those kinds of automatic and semi-automatic weapons.”

Hold on.

How is it even possible that Jones, an avid outdoorsman and host of his own hunting show is for sensible gun legislation?

Jones, who, surprisingly, is not a member of the NRA (he disagrees with a number of the organization’s positions) also believes the minimum age for gun purchases should be raised from 18 to 21.

“What is going on here in Florida with the protests and people really stepping up to try to make things happen is a good thing,” Jones said. “It’s always good for there to be open discussion. Hopefully if we can keep those high-powered automatic weapons out of civilian’s hands, the Las Vegases and the Columbines and what happened here in Florida will start to dwindle.”

Wow.

Anyone who follows Pat Neshek on social media knows that the Philadelphia Phillies reliever has a pretty good sense of humor.

Saturday, the two-time All-Star posted a video worthy of the $10,000 weekly prize on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” to Twitter.
